just started a page from scratch - in the design view it shows up nicely in wappler, but once uploaded to site the layout is not the same. All files have been uploaded properly. Any suggestions on whay I can get this 2nd nav bar all the way to the left vertically like in the wappler shot.

From what I see your custom CSS file is not uploaded 
No its there - verified online as well.
css/styless.css
I don’t see it there (where it’s pointing in your code):

Well your CSS file points to the root of the site, not to this subfolder.
Are you sure your remote and local folders structure is the same?
local is a folder: dashboard
web is folder dashboard within the root of the domain. Nothing else in the domain other than that folder - using as the root. Never had this prob with dreamweaver setup. Have the done the same for other projects.
Well obviously your local and remote folder structure is different. Locally you are not developing in a subfolder in your server root. And as using links relative to site root the link to css file break when uploaded to a subfolder.
ok - i’ll change to document and see what happens - i take it thats what you’re telling me.
The whole issue is your local folder is defined as a root folder.
On your remote server you are uploading to a SUBFOLDER in your root.
The files locally are at the same level as the HTML file but remotely the links are pointing to the root, which is one level up …
ok, i thought if changing over from root to document would fix it, but same effect. this is so simplistic i know, but i have always setup this up the same way in dreamweaver. I dont want to use the root on the web, i want the root as the subfolder. So how do i ensure this works correctly?
It won’t work in DW like that as well and it has never worked.
Your local and remote file structure must match.
You cannot develop locally in a root folder and then upload to a subfolder, with links pointing to the root it’s just simple logic.
By the way the links on your page are still pointing to the root of the site.
Expand your file panel so you can see both the local and remote files. They should be exactly the same. If not, then you don’t have your site set up properly in your site properties.
ok guys understood and thank you. So what is wrong with the settings - i know you say its going to the root and i can see that, but how do i point it to the sub? I thought i was doing that on the web server url.
The subfolder should also be your root folder on your local files.
Change links to relative to page. Then re-save your page. Then upload it to your server.
Thanks brad. And Teodor i did that and same effect. Just scratching this and going to resetup like you guys say to - thank you.
The links on your page are still root relative and not document relative.
